Scottish Government launches online tool to help businesses prepare for Brexit

A new online tool to help Scottish businesses identify how they could be affected by Brexit and what they can do to prepare has been launched by Michael Russell MSP, the Constitutional Relations Secretary.

The latest phase of Scotland’s “Prepare for Brexit” campaign is intended to help all businesses – whether or not they export and regardless of size or sector – assess their exposure to Brexit-related risks before directing them to appropriate support from Scotland’s enterprise and skills agencies.

The website www.PrepareforBrexit.scot is a one-stop shop to help companies prepare for Brexit. It includes an online self-assessment tool as well as expert advice, events and workshops, and financial support.

Grants of up to £4,000 are already available for exporters and potential exporters to help them mitigate risks and capitalise on export opportunities despite the challenge Brexit will bring.
